Boot Camp 3.1 support Magic Mouse?

I have heard that the Boot Camp 3.1 Update support Magic Mouse, it's true?
Does it means that I just on the Magic Mouse and start using it?
(I mean no need to do something else before starting using it)

Hi all,
here's Apples official statement on what works and what not with MagicMouse and BootCamp http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3039

How can I get Windows 7 Boot Camp to find my Magic Mouse?

Hey!
So I just bought a Magic Mouse and it works flawlessly in OS X.
But when I use Windows 7 Boot Camp I can't find the mouse to add it as a new device. My bluetooth works just fine and I have the Boot Camp 3.3 drivers.
I tried rebooting, turning the mouse off and on, read a bunch of guides on the internet but no one is having issues CONNECTING the mouse, only getting it to work, so my research is proving to be hard.
Can you guys help me?
Thanks!

Hi Maia,
Can you please mention your MAC model (MBA 2011, MBP, iMac?). Which OS X version?. Have you problems pairing other bluetooth devices?
You may want to try the following setps.
1.- First make sure that you have the latest EFI and software updates. Including latest bootcamp bluetooth drivers.
2.- Unpair MM in Mac OSX
3.- Do a Nvram and SMC reset:

4.- Restart
5.- Pair your MM under Mac OSX
6.- Boot on Bootcamp assiging bootcamp as a starting partition
7.- Add your device.
Let me know if that worked, there are another tricks you can try but I need additional information.

Boot camp not recognize keyboard and mouse when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit

Hi,
I have some issue when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit using boot camp. after done partitioning the windows drive and when boot to windows installation process, i've got stuck in the first screen when choosing the language. it seems that the keyboard and mouse are not detected.
i'm using boot camp ver. 5.0.
does anyone have similar problem with me?

I have finally successfully installed Windows 7 x64 on MacBook Air 13.3" (2013) thru Bootcamp.
Problem: After Windows 7 install thru BootCamp, I got to the first login screen and not input devices (Mouse, keyboard, USB) worked. I tried to boot into Windows Safemode, but I received the error "Windows can not complete installation in Safe Mode".
Cause: WIndows 7 does not have native USB 3.0 drivers, included on the install images.
Resolution: I downloaded the latest device drivers with thru BootCamp and copied them to the USB Flash Drive that had my bootable Windows 7 x64 install on it. The second option in BootCamp is "Download Support Media". This does more than just download drivers. It creates a file called "autoattended.xml". This is key as it tells Windows during the install process to use the device drivers that you download. Otherwise, you need to do it manually, which you can't because you have no mouse or keyboard.
NOTE: I had no need of a super drive because I had all the files on one USB flash drive. Therefore, I don't think it matter which side of the MBA the USB drive was plugged in, as other solutions suggested.

I have a message on my iMac 24 says Boot Camp does not support 64-bit on this computer. how do i fix is?

I have a late 2009 iMac 24 that i downloaded Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on. When i tried to download Windows 7 Support, i got a message that says Boot Camp does support 64-bit on this computer. I do have Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit CD. What would be the easy way to fix this. Thanks

There is no OS X 5.0.5. If you can boot to OS X on your computer select About This Mac from the Apple menu. It will display the version you have installed.
I think the message meant you can only install 64-bit Windows 7.

Does Boot Camp 5 not support Windows 8 Gestures?

I just did a fresh install of Windows 8 on a late 2011 MacBook pro. Does this updated version of Boot Camp not support the trackpad gestures?
I've spent a lot of time on Google but everything that I am finding is from 2012 with references to people trying to get Windows 8 working in Boot Camp 4.
Thanks!

Thank you for the clear and concise answer mende1.
That is great that someone has created 3rd party drivers but that won't be a solution in my environment. I support several Macs in a very large corporate environment and we were wanting to run Windows 8 with full official support from Apple on these devices.
The way I see it, Boot Camp 5 does not officially support Windows 8 until they support this basic functionality. I cannot provide support in this environment to a 3rd party driver solution. I'll be sure to provide feedback to Apple.
Thanks again!

Boot Camp, Aluminium Bluetooth Keyboard & Mighty Mouse not seen by Windows

I recently installed bootcamp (win xp pro sp2), and am unable to get windows to recognise my bluetooth keyboard and mouse. they work fine in OSX, and i know that the bluetooth drivers are good in windows because i can connect to my phone. I think the problem may be with pairing them with multiple computers, because while trying to figure out why it wasnt working i attempted to pair the keyboard with my ibook g4, and was unable untill i removed it from my MBP through system prefs. I have searched high and low and havent been able to find a solution, any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

What I have had to do, after booting into Windows, is toggle the mouse and keyboard power off and on. After about 3 or 4 seconds, Windows finally "sees" the input devices and everything works fine. It is a pain, I know.

Windows Vista/ Boot Camp and Apple wireless keyboard/mouse

Could someone please outline the steps needed to make the apple wireless mouse and keyboard work with Windows Vista on the Mac. It was working fine before I installed the Mac drivers, but now nothing. Whats worse is my computer boots to windows automatically now so I can't use it at present!
All help very gratefully received.
Many thanks
Dominic

You cannot use a keyboard or any other peripheral with the tv, I'm afraid. Think of it more like a giant ipod than a little mini in that respect.

Boot camp, does not recognise wireless mouse and keyboard

I have installed windows 4 times, after the installation the wireless keyboard and mouse stop responding! I guess lots of people have had this problem but I cannot see any solution! If I buy a USB mouse would it work?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
the problems with wireless keyboads/mouse and BootCamp Windows are well known.
The problem seem to be that the pairing of the keyboard/mouse with the Mac seems to be randomly forgotten by Windows.
An official statement and/or solution from Apple is yet to be seen.
I assume that you did install the Windows Drivers from the OSX DVD, right ?
Personally I have never used wireless keyboards/mouse, not even in my PC-heydays.
Right now I use the Apple USb-keyboard and a Logitech USB-Mouse.
Sorry for not better answer.
Regards
Stefan

Does Boot Camp 3.0 support read/write capabilities from Window's (NTFS) to OS X?

Will I be able to just click My Computer and view my complete OS X partition while in Window's (as well as write to it)?
Supposedly I can according to the KB article, but after hand installing every part of the 3.0 update (because Apple just loves its users with older computers, so much so that they delete threads questioning the logistics of denying support) I noticed no difference what-so-ever.

I would have to say that MacDrive is just one, and not always the best.

Wireless mouse does not work in Windows XP (Boot Camp)

Is there a way to get my wireless (Bluetooth) mouse to work under Windows XP? It is the mouse that came with my Mac Pro.
I managed to install Windows XP Professional and the Boot Camp drivers w/o a mouse. But now that XP is running fine I still have no mouse. Tried the Control Panel > Bluetooth > Detect Devices (can't remember exact wording), but no Bluetooth device was detected.
Yes I read the Boot Camp installation guide but hope that the USB mouse requirement was only for the installation part and that there is a way to make the mouse work after the Boot Camp drivers are installed.
Many thanks for your help.
Olaf

Most untrue works just fine under Windows actually ,however you do need to repair with windows .AND only after OSx pairing complete AND the Boot camp drivers are installed in Windows.
It uses a special profile to allow pairing in what is in essence two differing computers !
Having said that to get the mighty mouse to pair under windows can take a bit of effort.
When if finds the mouse and asks for a pairing password try either none or 0000!

Magic Mouse: Why Does It Need to Be Clicked When Restarting or Booting from Shutdown to Get Detected All the Time?

Hi. I'm using Snow Leopard via USB external drive (the hardisk is blank- testing something with Leopard). When I start the late 2009 iMac and boot with the Option Key, I need to click the Magic Mouse all the time so the mouse can be detected and move the cursor to the Snow Leopard icon ( in its boot menu ). After the Magic Mouse is detected, it's good from there.
Is this normal or there's something wrong with the Magic Mouse? The keyboard doesn't need to be pressed though to be detected, it's detected each time.
Thank you in advance.
God bless, Rev. 21:4

I cannot see why you should have to click the magic mouse in order for it to be detected ... unless you have changed the batteries. See my notes which cover the points made in your other recent post.
Batteries. Here are a few notes I've put together.
Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are more likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems.
Apple’s own brand, Eneloop and Energiser appear to be the best. Rechargeable batteries for the standard Magic mouse are unlikely to exceed eighteen days before needing a recharge although the mouse itself can be a limiting factor. I have seen reports that some Logitech mice vastly exceed this. Apple may suggest more in their sales blurb but this is a realistic expectation. The benefit (if you are organised) is that you can always have charged batteries available. Regular batteries will give you between 25 and 35 days before they need to be replaced. Note.
Never mix old and new batteries or rechargeable and regular.
The notes above are based on my personal experience, not shutting down my machine and using it for around four hours per day. Note. Monitors do not always faithfully report battery strength, particularly the rechargeable ones.
When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries ... Turn off the device. Remove the batteries, Clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and the batteries themselves. Replace or renew both batteries. Turn on the device. You should get a blinking green light if the device is paired. Click the mouse to activate it. The green light becomes steady.

Why did apple discontinue Boot Camp support for XP in Lion?

One of the primary reasons I purchased my macbook pro was the presumed ability to boot in either the Mac OS or a microsoft OS. I need XP for business, but I also have several hundred dollars worth of games and software that requires some pre-vista backwards compatibility to run its best. I am very disappointed with apple for the following reasons.
I bought my laptop yesterday and today apple's "support" staff informed me that Boot camp no longer supports vista or XP in Lion.
My understanding is that this was a conscious decision by apple and not a passive development because there is a simple workaround, but it requires a snow leapord disk. This means that all the infrastructure is in place for XP or vista to work but apple just chose to disable compatibility. On my support call I was told that older versions of Windows simply "aren't compatible" with Boot Camp or Lion.
This is disappointing because it would seem to suggest that apple is colluding with Windows to promote new software and disable the functionality of the old. This seems like a blatant anti-trust violation by apple bordering on fraud when you consider the way they market the supposed flexibility of their products.
So Apple, why did you choose to do this? Your customers deserve an honest answer as to how in the world this serves their needs. Or are you just pimping the products of your competition these days?
Anyways, Steve Jobs is rolling over in his grave right now.

My understanding is that this was a conscious decision by apple and not a passive development because there is a simple workaround, but it requires a snow leopard disk.
That is incorrect. Having an SL disk would not help you. What makes Boot Camp work with a particular Mac is having the Windows drivers for the Apple hardware you have. Apple has to write those to work with the version of Windows they are for. The XP drivers for your new Mac will not be on a Snow Leopard disk.
This seems like a blatant anti-trust violation by apple bordering on fraud when you consider the way they market the supposed flexibility of their products.
Uh, in what way? Apple is not Microsoft. They had no need to make it possible for Mac users to boot into Windows at all. It's there to make Macs more accessible for longtime Windows users who have considered purchasing a Mac, but don't want to have to purchase Mac versions of their possibly extensive software collection, or have certain titles there is no Mac version of. Even newer PC hardware cannot run XP. So is Microsoft also doing something illegal by not providing drivers for this newer hardware?

Does Boot Camp support Windows 8.1 Update 1?

Now that the update is out is it safe to update Windows 8.1 to the Update 1 (since it's mandatory) or does Boot Camp yet not support it?

Confirmed... no problems.. install took a long time... but all is well.

Mouse issues at Hard Drive selection screen in Boot Camp

Hello,
I have been searching for awhile and cannot find any information regarding this. I have a Razer Deathadder 3500 series mouse and when I go into the Boot Camp HD selection screen my mouse movements are inverted. Up is down and down is up. I am not sure why this is or how to fix it. Does anyone know?
Thanks,
Brad

Hi all,
in another thread a user had problems with a non-Razer mouse and the selection screen.
Problem, of any, is that at the time of the selection screen, no additional mouse driver is loaded yet, but rather a seemingly 'unified' one.
While maybe a SMC reset might be helpful, I suggested to simply use the cursor-keys for selection and then the Enter key.
At least that works for me.
Happy computing
Stefan

HT5639 Does Boot Camp 5 support flash storage

I'm new to Macs and recently purchased an iMac with flash storage rather than a hard or fusion drive. Boot Camp Assistant will not partition the drive - I press the 'Install' button to partition the drive and nothing happens. Does this mean that Boot Camp does not support flash storage?

Bootcamp creates a partition on which you install Windows. You then install Windows programs like your games on the partiton running Windows. It is as yhough you had a Windows computer.
